In terms of overall performance, the highest preset delivers a 45.9fps average on GTX 1060, dropping like a stone to 33.2fps on RX 580 - that's a huge 38.3 per cent advantage for Nvidia. Stripping out GameWorks sees the delta drop: 56.8fps vs 52.7fps - a mere 7.8 per cent lead for the Green Team, which drops again to just 5.5fps on the standard setting. However, frame-rate averages do not tell the whole story. As we look at averages of the lowest frame-times, Nvidia's lead is significant. When AMD performance is hit, it's hit harder - but the GeForce experience is still far from ideal.

Collating the lowest five per cent, one per cent and 0.1 per cent of frame-times (converted into frame-rate in the table below to make things a little easier to understand), it's clear that the averages aren't representative of consistency across the experience, and GameWorks has a big impact on the fluidity: it's clearly noticeable on Nvidia and sometimes disastrous for AMD. However, looking at the percentiles without Nvidia's proprietary tech in play, it's clear that AMD performance still has a long way to go. This is perhaps to be expected bearing in mind Square-Enix's Nvidia collaboration and the fact that we have no idea how much time, if any, AMD's driver team has had with the game.
